Ten countries with the slowest internet connection

Afghanistan (1.71 Mbps) Afghanistan has a long history of conflict and political instability, which has made it difficult to invest in telecommunications infrastructure. The country also has a rugged terrain, which makes it difficult to lay fiber optic cables.

Yemen (1.79 Mbps) Yemen is also a country that has been affected by conflict and political instability. The country's infrastructure has been damaged by the war, and there is a lack of investment in telecommunications.

Syria (2.30 Mbps) Syria has been in a civil war for over a decade, which has destroyed much of the country's infrastructure, including its telecommunications network. The country is also under international sanctions, which makes it difficult to import the equipment and technology needed to improve internet speeds.

East Timor (2.50 Mbps) East Timor is a small country with a limited budget. The government has prioritized other areas of development, such as education and healthcare, over telecommunications.
